Park Opens for Another Sensational Seasonover memorial day weekend, our pool, tennis, basketball, and sports fields opened for another jam-packed summer of fun. even with water damage to the tennis facility, which was fully covered by insurance, all major facilities were opened on schedule. while the weather was less than cooperative, when the sun peeked out through clouds, the pool filled with children and families.

The opening went “perfectly” according to mayor Koblenz who thanked the Board, park director Bill Gavin and staff, head Lifeguard Julie Glantz, and members of our office administration. in opening the pool, mayor Koblenz said “from the lifeguards to our park attendants, and from our waitresses to our other park workers, we have the most effective, accommodating staff we have ever employed for a summer season. we hope everyone has a summer of good weather, exercise and fun at the park.”

7 Grandparent Cards were reduced to $125 per couple from $150 and are now annual cards instead of seasonal to encourage greater use of this program. The access rights for these cards have been expanded. The new rules

allow use from memorial day weekend through Labor day that grandparents can access the park monday through Friday. The remainder of the year grandparents can have access to the park 7 days a week. in the past, the card was valid from april through the end of october monday through Thursday only.

the same privileges as the senior when accompanied by the senior. This is limited to one partner or significant other per summer and that person must be registered with the park office.

The program is a success thanks to the following sponsors:

our program. a schedule of events and classes that are being planned for the

This year, the village of east hills launched a new initiative to recognize the outstanding charitable contributions of local youth. Called “The Good deed award,” this program honors students of any age who have made significant contributions to a worthy cause. students can be nominated online via the village of east hills website, and winners are selected periodically throughout the year by the mayor and Board of Trustees.

The winner of the inaugural east hills Good deed award was Zach michaels, a shining example of the kind of philanthropy of which young people are capable. Zach was nominated by his middle school principal, Jack palmadesso, with whom he worked as a member of the principal’s advisory Council.

palmadesso said, “Zach was motivated to act in response to the needs of Long island families in the aftermath of hurricane sandy. he organized a charity football game on Thanksgiving weekend 2012. he recruited participants, created email lists, helped to select a worthy charity, set up fields/teams, helped to collect donations, awarded trophies, and kept notes to plan for future Turkey Bowls. Zach played an important role in getting 40 10th grade boys to participate. The event raised $2,130 for all hands volunteers after being motivated by the effects on the victims of hurricane sandy. it was matched by an anonymous donor for a total donation of $4,260. This event was the largest single student generated fundraiser for this cause.”
